> why did they pick Clojure to do probabilistic programming? As most language decisions for new projects, it probably came down to "it's their favorite language". > btw, Python programmers have the option of pymc3 https://docs.pymc.io/ https://docs.pymc.io/ And Edward (http://edwardlib.org/ http://edwardlib.org/), "Pyro" (http://pyro.ai/ http://pyro.ai/) and "ProbTorch" (https://github.com/probtorch/probtorch https://github.com/probtorch/probtorch). The first built on TensorFlow, the latter two on PyTorch. Stan (http://mc-stan.org/ http://mc-stan.org/) also has python bindings: https://pystan.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://pystan.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
